EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Road projects are meant for improving the quality of life of people and developing the country’s economy. Along with all positive impacts of the road projects, there may also be some significant detrimental impact on nearby communities and environment. To account for adverse impacts, environmental impact assessment is utmost necessary. These concerns for environmental issue in road projects have also become a part of legal requirements and requirements for obtaining financial support. Therefore Environmental Assessment is of prime importance in road projects. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been entrusted with the assignment of Development of Economic Corridors, Inter-corridors and feeder routes and Coastal road primarily to improve the efficiency of freight movement in India under Bharatmala Pariyojna Lot-3/Odisha & Jharkhand/Package-2 having length of proposed alignment 463.265 km (which is totally green field) which starts from near Abhanpur (ch. 0.000)/ch. 61.600 of proposed Raipur-Durg Bypass and ends at Vishakhapatnam bypass (ch.463.265) of Existing section of SH-38. The whole length of road is divided into 3 phases, i.e., phase-1, phase-2, and phase-3. This Pre-feasibility report is for phase-1 i.e. from Ch 0.00 km to 123.210 km. The phase 1 of this proposed project will start from Jhanki village of Abhanpur tehsil in Raipur district and passing through four districts such as Raipur, Dhamtari, Kanker and Kondagaon districts of Chhattisgarh state and ends at Marangpuri village of Baderajpur tehsil in Kondagaon districts. NHAI as the employer and the executing agency has commissioned the services of M/s. YONGMA Engineering Co. Ltd. JV With Arkitechno Consultants (I) Pvt. Ltd. with its Office at Gurgaon in Haryana State for carrying out the work of Consultancy Services for preparation of DPR for development of Economic Corridors, Inter Corridors, Feeder Routes and Coastal Roads to improve the efficiency of freight movement in India (Lot-3/Odisha & Jharkhand/Package-2). II. STATUTORY CLEARNCES: FOREST CLEARANCES: Since 281.34 ha of forest land is involved in construction of this corridor so Forest Clearance is a must and to be obtained from MoEF&CC. R&R CLEARANCE: The road is passing through a 66 nos. of villages. The R&R plan according to LARR Act 2013 will be prepared after completion of Social Impact assessment (SIA) study. These plans will be approved by respective state governments. Yongma Engineering in JV with ARKITECHNO 1 Pre-feasibility Report FINANCE CONCURRANCE: The central Government will consider budgetary support after completions of the statutory requirements. ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE: As per MoEF&CC EIA notification, 2006, the proposed project is covered under category 7 ‘f’. As per the statutory requirements, the competent authority adheres to submit the Environmental Impact Assessment Report to MoEF&CC, Delhi in order to obtain Environmental Clearance. III. PROJECT COST AND BENEFITS: PROJECT COST: The estimated cost of the project is about INR 4290.24 Crores. Detailed cost break-up and Project schedule shall be discussed in the EIA report. PROJECT BENEFITS: The benefits of the Project are multi-fold. It will substantially reduce the travel time and the other remote areas falling on the alignment. In addition to the improved connectivity, it will also provide a boost to the economic status of the villages / towns falling in the dedicated Project area. Overall improvement will be expected in local area in terms of: Better connectivity to economic, social and political hubs of Chhattisgarh. Fast and safe connectivity resulting in savings in fuel, travel time and total transportation cost. Better approach to medical & educational services. Faster transportation of perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, dairy products and marketing of agricultural products. Development of local agriculture and handicrafts. Opening up of opportunities for new occupations and trade on the route. Better connectivity to rice mills of Chhatisgarh, industrial cities and vishakhapatna port. Indirect and direct employment opportunity to people from all skilled, semi- skilled and unskilled streams.

The phase 1 of this proposed project will start from Jhanki village of Abhanpur tehsil in Raipur district and passing through four districts such as Raipur, Dhamtari, Kanker and Kondagaon districts of Chhattisgarh state and ends at Marangpuri village of Baderajpur tehsil in Kondagaon districts. As per MoEF&CC EIA notification, 2006, the proposed project is covered under category 7 ‘f’. PROJECT PROPONENT: National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), an autonomous agency of the Government of India, is responsible for management of a network of national highways across the country. It is a nodal agency of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRT&H), Government of India. Its vision is to meet the nation’s need for the provision and maintenance of national highways network to global standards and to meet user expectations in the most time-bound and cost-effective manner, within the strategic policy framework set by the Government of India and thus promoting economic well- being and quality of life of the people. NHAI shall be the nodal authority/proponent for the development of this Project. 2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT: The Phase 1 of the proposed economic corridor passes through Abhanpur-Kurud- Dhamtari-Magerload-Nagri-Naraharpur-Baderajpur.

Nearest State Highway/ The proposed project is itself a National National Highway Highway. 11. Nearest Airport Raipur Airport, 10.83 km in NNW Direction from starting point. 12. Seismic zone Zone II 2.3 Need of the Project and Its Importance to the Country of Region: The existing direct route between the two points i.e. Visakhapatnam and Abhanpur which is not only long but also experiences heavy traffic during peak hours. Thus, the Phase-1 of this proposed project is to create a hassle free road within the state of Chhattisgarh. The proposed route shall thus enhance the opportunity of transport and communication within the state of Chhattisgarh by saving both time and fuel. The Project will further have following benefits at national and regional level: High-speed connectivity and access: The proposed economic corridor will avoid traffic congestion and speed-up the freight movement. Aiding economic growth: The seamless connectivity will provide better access to vehicles as a link to the National Highways. The Project will reduce travel time and provide boost to trade and commerce linked to the regions connected through this economic corridor. Yongma Engineering in JV with ARKITECHNO 4 Pre-feasibility Report Growth of backward areas: The biggest strength of the alignment is that it plans to cover backward districts of Chhattisgarh. As a result of connectivity and access to other parts of the country, these backward areas will be aided to integrate with rest of the world. Further, freight and passenger traffic on the economic corridor will help promoting ancillary economy of these regions. Decongestion of existing National and State Highways: The proposed phase will take away traffic pressures from existing SH and NH passing through various cities thereby leaving the NH and SH for regional and local usage. Improved safety: Due to access control, the Roadway & Travel Safety of the traffic connecting the cities will be enhanced as there will be minimum distractions & conflict zones.
